I don’t know about that pool but my complex has a limit on how many guests I can have over at a time.
You don’t have an issue with the DJ tweeting for more people to show up and fork over $15 a head?
The issue wasn’t “black people at the pool!”.
Criminy. I’m surprised they didn’t by accusing Bush of “structuring” his ownership of The Rangers in order to conceal his association with Ken Lay, Enron, et al.
Arabian Prince, dressed as cop, arrives on the scene, landing his magic flying teen on on the front lawn.
I'm sick of the Liberal thinking trolls on this board, like you.
No, I don’t have a xenophobic view of the South. Southern Illinois is both geographically, and culturally more akin to its Kentucky and Missouri neighbors than it is to, say Chicago or Springfield. Historically, there was an “anti Undergroud Railroad” moving slaves back to the south even though Illinois was a free state.
Most of the South dealt with integration much better than Cairo. In the 60s white business owners refused to hire black employees. The blacks boycotted the businesses so effectively that eventually virtually all the businesses closed. End result, once prosperous Cairo is virtually a ghost town. Biggest employers are the public school and welfare offices. There is hardly any tax base so don’t exceed the speed limit as you drive through, you will get a ticket.
The punks were breaking the law, not the Police.
The girl who had the party may not have invited all these kids. Word gets out there is a “party” and the masses skedaddle on over. Yes, most private neighborhood pools here(if not ALL) have a rule about the # of guests. No way could all these visitors have access unless they stormed the gates. In CR residents have identity cards for the pools. I’m guessing many of the kids didn’t gain access and were ticked off.
Enron, Bush and the Houston Astros? (Leftwatch ^ | 1/22/02 | Brian Carnell)
What the hell is going on at The Nation? The magazine published, then modified, then finally removed from its site an absurd article by Matt Bivens trying to link George W. Bush to Enron via Bush's failed ventures into baseball. The only problem with the article was that Bivens comes across as perhaps the only person in America dumber than the president.Originally published on January 17, 2002, the article began,
When George W. Bush co-owned the Houston Astros and construction began on a new stadium, Kenneth Lay agreed to spend $100 million over thirty years for rights to name the park after Enron.The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto pointed out that Bush was a part owner of the Texas Rangers, not the Houston Astros. Someone at The Nation dutifully modified the lead of Bivens article to read,
When George W. Bush co-owned the Texas Rangers and construction began on a new stadium, Kenneth Lay agreed to spend $100 million over thirty years for rights to name the park after Enron.The only problem with this, of course, is that it is the Astros, not the Rangers, that play at Enron Field. The Rangers play at the Ballpark in Arlington. Taranto suggests that an accurate lead would have looked like this,
A year after George W. Bush sold his interest in the Texas Rangers, construction began on a new stadium for the Houston Astros, and Kenneth Lay agreed to spend $100 million over thirty years for rights to name the latter team's park after Enron.Sources:

Well see. I will wait for the changes to come down before making my final judgement.
I don’t have an issue with the story at all. I barely care about it. It is interesting to see people at their worst over nothing. What is the problem with having people in the pool who are not white? Goodness sometimes we do show ourselves as not very nice.
The Nation, The Atlantic. Same turd, different toilet.
Have you ever been at a party that had the police arrive (responding to a noise complaint)?
The first thing the host typically does upon seeing the car (or being notified of police presence at the door) is to turn down or stop the music and insist that the crowd be quiet and while they handle it.
How did the hostess respond to the news that the DJ was charging people to attend and broadcasting an open invite? I doubt that is kosher with HOA policies.
Party doesn't have to end when the police arrive, it's all how you handle the matter (reduce the volume, control your crowd, etc.).
Bingo. A mass of kids who aren’t members of Craig Ranch show up at their private pool. A fight ensues and the police are called. Doesn’t matter what skin color, they were on private property, asked to leave and all hell broke loose.
That’s my take.
If you want to say "Confederate sympathies" you are 100+ years too late (100 years being approx to the 1962 Illinois pool situation I referenced).
I just heard her talking on the news...she's lying through her teeth...and the video shows she was mouthing off and resisting.
Telling someone to sit down is perfectly acceptable for an office to demand in a volatile situation...she resisted.
But obviously you're all hopped up on Internet Commando Rage this morning, so I leave you alone.
Actually the ground ‘security’ was called ‘first’ who could not break up the fist-fight among the kids....THEN police were called.
It’s not as if white kids crashing a house party (apart from the rare exception of some facebook viral thing that sent thousands to wreck a home) doesn’t happen or cause problems. They rarely if ever make the national news cycle.
Kids were instructed by the Left to “question authority” (although not to question the motives of the Marxists who have encouraged them for half a century to riot).
Those who don’t live in a community (and this goes for white kids too) have little to risk by going all out at somebody else’s party.
